On December 14, 1905 Joseph Huber was born to Joseph and Rosalia Huber on a farm east of Fingel, North Dakota. He was one of two brothers and three sisters. His parents were immigrants from Austria-Hungary and had been married in 1904. Young Joseph attended the local school and St. Gerard, a Catholic school near Fingal. In 1922 he attended a tractor and auto school and in 1926 he attended the Coyne Electrical School in Chicago. After working in Chicago a year, he returned to the family farm until 1929 when he began work for the Fingal Hardware and Motor Company. On August 31, 1931 he married Mary Morth, daughter of Isadore and Theresa Morth. She was born December 25, 1910. She attended the Valley City State College and taught the Wagner school before her marriage to Joseph Huber. In 1933 she began work as a postal clerk in the local post office. In 1942 she was appointed Postmaster of Fingal and Joseph was appointed a substitute postal clerk, which allowed him to also operate the Huber Auto Electric Shop. Mary was postmaster for twenty five years and passed away in 1970. Joseph spent twenty eight years as a postal clerk and now operates his electrical repair business. Both were life-long members of the Holy Trinity Catholic Church.
